In the Philadelphia area, one company is seeking to change the real estate industry by only charging home sellers $495 for its services, collected at closing.

The company, Houwzer, still plans for a 3 percent buyer’s broker fee but seeks to challenge traditional commission fees, co-founder Mike Maher told The Philadelphia Inquirer for an article published June 21.

Buyers and sellers of homes appear to be benefiting as companies compete in a competitive digital landscape. Companies have challenged the traditional 6 percent commission connected with the property’s sale price, typically split between buyer’s and seller’s agents.

The idea of a flat fee for property transactions, rather than a percentage-based commission, has been implemented for more than a decade. But real estate experts previously noted one of the biggest challenges in 2017 will be the changing commission structure, according to a December article by real estate news company Inman.

The traditional commission rate has already been changing. Even in July 2015, the federal government said that the average commission rate, based as a percentage of the home’s sale price, was between 5 and 5.5 percent.

Here’s a look at what companies are charging:

Dallas-based Door says it charges a flat fee of $5,000 per side, paid at closing.

Redefy, based near Denver, charges sellers $3,000 for the seller’s commission but requires them to pay the buyer’s commission, according to its website. The business also provides listings across multiple states and seeks to expand to other cities across the country.

Denver-based Trelora charges a flat $2,500 for both the buyer’s agent and seller’s agent.
